What it is

Short grain white rice is a type of rice with plump, short kernels. It is a polished grain, meaning the bran and germ have been removed. This process makes it cook up softer and stickier than long grain rice.

Why it's used

Short grain white rice is often used in dishes where a sticky texture is desired, such as sushi and rice puddings. It can also be found in some frozen meals and side dishes. Its mild flavor makes it a versatile base for many recipes.

Health notes

Short grain white rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein and fiber. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated rice and its components, but does not set specific limits for typical consumption.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
